i walked downstairs and saw yieun reading mom's magazine. she must be so bored.

"hey yieun."

"what?" she asked.

"here." i said as i handed her paper bag.

"what is this?" she asked.

"open it." i said as i acted cool.

she opened it and gasped as she saw the brown dress.

"it's beautiful but what is this for?" she asked.

"i want you to go to ahyun's party." i said.

"w-what?"

"go. with me. i'll be there." i said.

"i'll think about it.."

"you had no choice. i'm taking you with me." i said as i walked away.

i entered my room and write something on the birthday card. i put the card on the present box.

i called jeno to come over , so i'm waiting for him to come.

i hope everything's going to be okay today. i wish.

"jaemin!" i heard jeno's voice as my door opened.

"oh yeah , you're here." i said.

"why in the world you ask me to come? what kind of help that you need?" he asked.

"today , i planned to propose ahyun publicly." i said.

"oh..-what?"

"i confessed and now i want to ask her out." i said.

"wow you confessed and you didn't tell me? what a betray." he said.

"don't be childish over this okay? help me." i said.

"what is it?" he asked.

"help me to choose the suit." i said.

he frowned at me.

"na jaemin , seriously?"

"what?"

"you're good at this , why you're asking me?" he said.

"i don't know , i just can't think straight today and come on , you're my personal designer." i said.

"sigh. you really changed."

"what do you mean?"

"your personality. it becomes warmer. you're not cold anymore."

"it's a good thing , right? now , hurry up and help me. i need to good look."

i saw jeno rolled his eyes.

"you do that again or i'll take your eyeballs out for real." i said.

"okay okay , let me see what kind of suit you have." he said.

i excitedly enter my wardrobe and take out all the suit that i have.

i stared at the dress. should i really go to the party?

as i'm really in a deep thought , my phone rings. i picked up the phone.

"hey there." the caller said , i formed a smile.

"why are you calling me?" i asked renjun , kinda shyly actually. what's with me today?
